Yep, "everything" we can observe, which is hardly a drop in the ocean ...

Nope, not static, but equally eternal and non-eternal, I would say take a pick, but you already did beforehand Smile

Let me "fix" that for ya:

There seems to have been a beginning to what we can observe is much more like it ...

Another thing. Lots of theists or alike presume that only god is or can be eternal (or prime mover if you will), that is really a big generalization, if there is one thing eternal, there is a BIG chance that many other things are. Cool Shades
Why Won't God Heal Amputees ?
